Description

If your child loves disney and their princesses such as Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, or if they love stories about giants and spells, this children's book would make the perfect gift for them!

Un libro muy interesante que contiene una serie de cuentos tradicionales de diferentes partes del mundo (me encantó el detalle de que especificase el país de cada uno). Folio’s beautiful edition of House of Many Ways brings another dose of magic and mayhem from the world of Howl’s Moving Castle.I pushed through because it was recommended by a curriculum, but there are so many better options out there, so I'm giving up on this one. The Icelandic stories tended to involve the women making themselves appear as men with penises made out of bits of seal, and there were quite a few stories involving jealous step mothers and step fathers, and cannibalism… These are proper folk fairy stories that have been handed down from generation to generation. Of course they are fairytales, and all the instant love and happily-ever-after that comes with them.

This book is a collection of two shorter volumes, and the first one is strongly biased in favor of European and Western Asian cultures. When the Green Wind turns up and carries September away to Fairyland, she soon finds herself battling to stop the evil Marquess. I could see the roots of Grimm’s Fairytales and Mother Goose in these stories, and there were several stories based around the Cinderella theme, Rumpelstiltskin and elements of Snow White. You would expect a collection like this to have a certain amount of filtering or bias, and they definitely do.A magnificent collection, which manages to effectively capture the 'voice' of the various places the tales are gathered from. Pero tengo que decir algo negativo, muy negativo: he encontrado faltas de ortografía en casi todas las páginas.
